15 Disk Commands
:DISK:SAVE:WAVeform
Command :DISK:SAVE:WAVeform <source>,"<file_name>" [,<format>[,<header>]]
The :DISK:SAVE:WAVeform command saves a waveform to a disk. If the
source is ALL, all of the currently displayed waveforms are saved to the
file. If you use a file extension as shown below in the <format> variable,
then the type of file saved defaults to the extension type. If no format is
specified and no extension is used, the file is saved in the INTernal
format.
<source> {ALL | CHANnel<N> | CLOCk | COMMonmode<P> | DIFFerential<P> |
FUNCtion<F> | HISTogram | MTRend | MSPectrum | EQUalized |
WMEMory<N> | PODALL | POD1 | POD2}
MTRend and MSPectrum sources are only available if the oscilloscope has
the EZJIT option installed and the feature is enabled.
The CLOCk source is only available if the oscilloscope has the High Speed
Serial option installed and the feature is enabled.
The EQUalized source is only available if the oscilloscope has the High
Speed Serial option and the Serial Data Equalization option installed and
the features are enabled. This command uses the Feed- Forward Equalized
(FFE) signal as the source.
The COMMonmode and DIFFerential sources are just aliases that can be
used in place of the channel names to apply to differential or common
mode signals. These are just aliases - no state change occurs if you refer
to a differential channel and you are not in differential mode.
DIFFerential1 refers to the differential signal between channels 1 and 3
(and COMMonmode1 refers to the common mode channel between these
same channels). DIFFerential2 refers to the differential signal between
channels 2 and 4 (and COMMonmode2 refers to the common mode
channel between these same channels).
If you have an MSO model oscilloscope, you can save digital channel
waveform data by using the sources PODALL (all digital channels), POD1
(D0- D7), or POD2 (D8- D15).
<N> An integer, 1-4.
<P> An integer, 1-2.
<F> An integer, 1-16.
NOTE
See the ":WAVeform:VIEW" on page 1130 command to determine how much data is saved.
